Skipping active week.

I'm on ortho tri-cyclen and I skipped the active week this month because I just really didn't feel like being on the rag this week and I had my new pack in advance so I just skipped it.

So I'm pretty sure it's not going to hurt anything but I'm just wondering and asking advice from some of the wiser ones on the forums with a tad more experience with this stuff.

Muchas gracias.
=D

 

You should be fine, I've done it a few times myself when on vacation etc. You may have a heavier flow next time.

 

I think you can do this no problem, some pills dont have that week anyways do they?

 

Seasonic doesnt

 

I know....
Well you get it every three months I think.
Then it's probably like
'Holy-hell-niagra-falls'.

 

I dont think it would make a difference but I havent been on the pill since 1995.

*shrugs*

 

you should be fine. i have done this before in the past, and some women are prescribed to take the pill consistently and never take the inactive week, like if they get anemic from too much blood loss, etc. you should be just fine. although i wouldn't do it too often without your doctor's ok, or you'll run out of your prescription before you're supposed to, and you may have insurance issues, and the doctor may get a bit pissy about it too.

 

Yeah.
My doctor's a bit of a bitch, honestly.
Not a nice thing to say, I know.
But I remember I went in there last and I had
the whole in my face from my monroe, she looked
at me like I was a child of Satan or something.

But I don't think I'll do it too often or anything.
Thanks All.
